brrrrrrrriiiing….

Answer the phone, it’s your mother calling!!! I just could NOT resist making this when I thought of it!  LOVE it for a CAS card!  Can you just hear the news waiting to come out of that cord – Curly Q die!  NEW this month!  So FUN!

ok – so nothing spectacular in the way of news but I still love it!   hello and both of the sentiments inside are from the NEW AmyR Stamps Sentiment set, So Wordy!   CUTE!

Here’s another card I made with the Curly Q die, Watering Can Logos and Watering Can die!  I LOVE it!  A little gluing time but so CAS and simply sweet!

The Curly Q die is cut out of dark brown card-stock… glued on… then some pieces I die cut for stems from the Mistletoe die… works great for flowers!  The white flowers are the smallest flower from the Five Point Flower die and the red center is the largest bit 4 from my Japanese Screw Punch.  I did take the stylus to the red circles and rounded them up so they have just the right amount of dimension… Cute!

I die cut three of the watering cans and glued them together to simulate chipboard.  The watering can stamp, sentiment and  heart are part of the Watering Can Logos cling mount rubber stamp set.

oh my,  I’m still not done!   How about a Mother card!  Another CAS creation… I love doing them.  I used the All About Mom Sentiment set and of course!!!  The Curly Q die!!! lol

The Curly Q die is cut and just barely glued on to the white card… I ran the ribbon through the curls and then lightly glued the ends before I trimmed them off with a scissors.  Mother is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink on a Long Rectangle Nestabilities die cut with the stamp a ma jig.  I left the cut in the die and edged it with my ink blending tool and Printworks Beach House ink pad.

Now,  I’m done for today!  I have one more creation for tomorrow….I’m excited to share it with you too!  So until then!   Happy Stamping/creating to you!

How does your Garden Grow…

ok – it is a laugh when I talk about gardening… ugh… I don’t know how to grow a thing!  So,  does all this stamping stuff count for “stuff” growing?!  Cuz it grows every day! lol  I’m good at growing that stuff! hahaha

Getting back on track…. this is cutie, sweet,  Laugh Lines Garden and her coordinating Watering Can Logos.  She knows what she’s doing!  She even has the right footwear!!!   Adorable!

Laugh is stamped on Hamermill Color Copy Cover paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers.

I did!  I used the Fence from yesterday’s video tutorial… scroll down if you’d like to watch how I embellished the  CC Designs Cutters Fence die!

I changed up the  Flower border a tad… it grew some new flowers! ha!  sorta it did! I used the smallest flower from the Five Point Flowers die and glued them on top of the flowers that are on the border cut… it had to be something different from yesterdays make!

The  Grass Border… what can I say… it’s the best ever!  I am biased of course but I truly do love it!  It’s the perfect size and easy to add little blades with copic marker or two.

 


Thanks for making me smile and visiting my stamping blog… I love being on the receiving end of your generous comments and friendship!  Take care and see ‘ya back here tomorrow!

Let a leaf be your umbrella on a rainy day…

Another month of Swiss Pixie adorable-ness!  This is beautiful Rainy Day Birgitta… sweet, sweet, sweet… keeping dry under her leaf umbrella!  Birgitta is illustrated by Christine Wooden for her stamp line CC Designs. I stamped Birgitta with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Promarkers.

I’m sure you’re dying to know about the new dies I’m showing today!!!  Well… I’m dying to tell YOU!  Aren’t they awesome?!!!  Awhile back Christine asked the Design Team gals on our forum what ideas we had for dies!  Guess what I asked for… hehe.. yep… a flower border!  I couldn’t be happier!  It’s totally charming!

The Grass border is separate from the Flower border and then there is the Fence… purely fun! I will make a video on how I shaped it for dimension. Easy, I promise and the video will be short! I stamped the fence with a woodgrain stamp… so cool and then inked the edges with Walnut Stain distress ink and the ink blending tool. I added some copic colored grass to the grass border die cut and some copic pink to the flowers in the flower border… I did do some paper piecing to the dies also… yep… true love… I ❤ these dies!

The Happy Spring Words and Hello sentiments are from a new for this month AmyR Stamps sentiment set called So Wordy…. cool name even and fun fonts too!  The flowers I used in the word border are from the NEW Watering Can Logos set we’ll be showing tomorrow… I know… I got a head… just a bit! hehe   I used my trusty ‘ole stamp a ma jig to do the word/flower border… no pattern paper was harmed in making of this card!  Oh,  there are two flower stamps…one solid and one outline… cool… more stamping!

The die cut clouds are CC Designs Cutters cloud dies.  I also cut one of the top one to use as a mask to make a cloud background. Following Tracy’s tutorial on the ATS blog,  HERE… only I reversed it… used blue paper and white distress stain!  I really liked it when I was done too… there is always that chance, it’ll be a bomb ‘ya know… so happy when it isn’t! hehe   Always fun to try something different anyway!

Thank you for visiting…

Happy Easter…

I don’t have a new card to share today but I pulled this Happy Easter card out of the “archives”…   So cute!

We’re enjoying the weather in IA… 6 of the grands here to play yesterday afternoon… so fun!  A couple of the girls and I cut scrap paper into useable sizes part of the time… fun to see that paper stack up.  Now if I could just get that card finished that I started last week! ugh!  I keep moving it out of the way to do something else!  lol

Take care and ttul!
